Lexie - November 3, 2014

Ok so this is about the slowest computer ever so this is all this week. My new district, awful picture of me. No worries. And the firestation is in our area and they have a little zoo next too it for animals they ahve taken out of peoples houses. There is this little guys. I think racoons. And thesse little crocodiles and a bunch of big old snakes. One is shadding right now and its all blue it is super weird. I will try to send more when I can.

Ok, I love my new area! It is so hot and the house has rats but I dont even care becasue the ward is awesome, the area is flat, and we have WATER! So yeah, really good week. I worked harder this week than I have my whole mission. Everyone keeps telling me that my spanish is awesome and even though I know it isnt it helps me work harder and feel better. Its amazing what posotive words can do! My companion is Hermana Agustin and she is wonderful. We have a lot in common and are very differnt too but it has been really good. But holy smokes she likes to make breakfast in the morning, well we trade off days I guess that is what she did with her other companion. Anyways, some days I eat a sandwhich, a quesodilla and a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Holy smokes that is a lot of food. So i try to eat less on my days to make breakfast. Anyways, the bus trip here was long and filled with super weird movies which are even weirder translated into spanish. 6 hours! And aparently the whole car sick thing is still in me because boy did I feel gross. But I didnt puke so its all good! We found some great new investigators this week, one is a famiy and the dad is an inactive member. Their lesson was great and I feel really good about them! We talk to soooo many people ever day. My companion is amazing with contacting and I can already tell some of the reasons I am with her and the things I need to learn. I love being a missionary but I also love that it is NOVEMBER! Can you even believe I will be home in almost a year? Taht blows my mind. Anyways, everything is going really great. We are going to centro today so I can buy these plastic shoes to use when it rains because it rains a ton here. And I guess we are in the rainy season too, so it is like 2 or 3 degrees cooler than normal. Yippee! lol. That and I really want a sombrero, so I will be searching for one of those too! Love you tons!


I have had some wonderful letters to read from family so thank you to all! Here are some answers to some questions! My favorite conference talk was proabably Elder Bedner (from what I could understand in spanish at least) I loved that he was speaking to people that are not members of the church so that everyone can understand better why in the world we want to share this messagewith everyone! They know about halloween here but they celebrate more the day of the dead! They take flowers to the cemetery but also food and drinks for the dead people! I love the food here but my favorite thing is the tortillas. They are wonderful and I am so going to buy one of the tortilla press things to bring home when I finish my mission! I think thats about it. I hope everyone is doing fantastic! Thank you for all your letters!
Love,Hermana Baer
